Democrats believed in "progressivism." They believed in Big Government. But they at least attached optimistic outcomes to it. They really believed they were helping America. They really believed they were helping families, helping people. Now they've just become, "The country's horrible, it's rotten, it needs to be reformed!" The liberals of John F. Kennedy's day did not think there was anything really major wrong with this country.
Rush LimbaughAll of these promises and all of these votes to repeal Obamacare since 2010, now when senators have the power to actually do it, they don't do it, they can't do it. After all these promises, after all these times being elected on the basis of that promise, and yet they obviously don't fear the voters in their states nearly as much as they fear something else.
Rush LimbaughI am not retiring until every American agrees with me, and there's some work still to be done on this.
